Missed It By That Much

Tuesday night's winter storm came dangerously close to the Stateline, but for many of us, we didn't see much of the white stuff. But how close were we to some major snow totals?

Snowfall Map: Tuesday Night and Wednesday Morning

Here's a look at the snowfall map from Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Areas south and east of Rockford saw some minor accumulating snow, but nothing that totaled more than an inch or two.







Closer to Chicago was a much different story. The highest snowfall amount we could find occurred in New Lenox, which is just east of Joliet. They saw 7" of new snow. Rockford, which is only 77 miles away as the crow flies, saw 0.2". Talk about a close call! -BA
